I am sat on the shoulders of the deep blue
Watching over the horizon with life, my companion
To see the curvature contour of the earth
I am sat on a surfer’s board
Dangling my legs to uninvited prey
Paddling away into the deep blue, a surfers paradise
Seeking the adrenalin filled waves
Promised on Hawaii, surfer's beach stand
I have seen many a men, glide ride on this blue
Like dolphins on energy drink, catching on a wave
Cutting through the very blue, like gods
Defying gravity at angles with bizarre stands
But every surfer would tell you with sincerity
The hardest part sat in the deep blue, is waiting on waves
For why else would a man paddle this far out, into the blue 
Quite a sense of the infinite sea, and the solitude it brings.
ReplyDeleteI hope that uninvited prey does not find, that would worry my rhyming behind. Nice verse!
ReplyDeleteLovely. I particularly like the line: 'like dolphins on energy drink catching on a wave.' This captures so well the adrenaline and fish like abilities needed to surf well. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI love surfing and wish I'd found time to learn and do it when younger. The life style itself is appealing but the ecstasy of riding those huge waves must be so huge you'd have to put a ton of lead in my pockets to come down from the high. Your poem captures that free spirit that I akways associate with surfers.
ReplyDeletewhy else...smiles...the waiting is always the hardest...and holding out hope too that the one will come that will take you where you want to go...
ReplyDeletethe right time...well said!
